Abstention for lack of experts.
General
Since this part is not normative, it should not be a standard but
rather a TR (type 3).
Introduce a new section for schema inclusion and recommend the
use of XInclude (or external parsed entities) for syntactical
inclusion of schemas.
State that other parts may be added later when new requirements are
recognized.
3.4 Schema
Replace "XML-encoded set" with "set".
3.5 The role of document schemas
Restate that an SGML document is first converted to an information set
by validation against SGML DTDs. This assumption is stated only in
the scope section.
6 Validation Management
Delete this section and move its content to Section 4 or 8.10.
Figures 1 and 2 are misleading, since RNG validation does not create
any XML documents.
8.2 Part 2
Since this part is RELAX NG, the first paragraph should not mention
other regular-grammar-based schema languages.
Remove the last paragraph, since new parts may be added anyway.
8.3 Part 3
Since this part is Schematron, the first paragraph should not mention
other rule-based schema languages.
Remove the last paragraph, since new parts may be added anyway.
8.4 Part 4
Drop the fourth paragraph (about NRL). NRL is not the only ancestor
of NVDL and NRL is not identical to NRL. Moreover, unlike RELAX NG
and Schematron, NRL is not widely used. The history of NVDL should
rather be explained in Part 4.
Remove the editorial notes, since NVDL already provides a mechanims
("trigger") that specifies element names for creating validation
candidates.
Remove the last paragraph, since NVDL schemas do specify which schema
and which schema language is used for validation candidates.
8.5 Part 5
Replace "regular expression grammars" with "regular expressions",
since regular expressions, regular grammars, and regular
right-hand-part grammars are different from each other.
Mention the equivalence relationship. (e.g, are "1" and "01"
equivalent?)
8.6 Part 6
Remove the third paragraph (about extracting fragments by XPath),
since such extraction of fragments has never been in the scope of this
part.
Mention better integration with Part 2 (e.g., static typechecking) as
an advantage of this part.
This part should not have a mechanism for embedding fragments from
other documents.
Do not mention XPath in Part 1, since different parts have good
reasons to create different variations of XPath. In particular,
path expressions in Part 4 are NOT XPath.
Since extraction of fragments by XPath should be done by an XSLT
stylesheet, DSDL should not duplicate this functionality.
8.8 Part 8
Drop entity renaming unless such renaming is implementable without
changing the behaviour of conformant XML processors.
(comments absent from form; NB requested to forward comments directly to working group)
As noted in ISO/IEC CD 19757-1, Document Schema Definition Language (DSDL) - Part 1: Overview, at page 5, paths should be
treated in part 10 of DSDL.
